A cold front has parked over the city: expect light showers, a high of just 20°C and a 65% chance of rain, so today is for museums, botecos and one very big television.
The only story that matters: Brazil play Norway in the World Cup round of 16 at 5 pm BRT at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, and every bar in town is set up for it.
On Friday the Ibovespa closed up 0.74% at 174,070.27 points, its best finish since 2 June, while the dollar eased to R$5.168.
In one line: Vik Muniz at the CCBB in the morning, feijoada at lunch, and be seated with a chope in hand well before 5 pm.
